Good Morning Everyone!

It’s a brand new week, and I am planning on filming a brand new workout today. In the mean time I have a throwback workout for you. This workout utilizes cardio bursts throughout the routine to increase the intensity/burn of the workout. I also incorporated moves into this workout that will provide a stretch & challenge for your flexibility.

Fitness isn’t just strength, or only flexibility, or just endurance. True fitness is a combination of all three of those things. Fitness also incorporates the mental aspect of determination, consistency and goal setting. This routine is an all around, full body challenge for strength, flexibility and endurance. The workout video and photo tutorial are below.

I wasn’t able to film as many new workouts last week, but I did get in some great workouts and runs. These are last week’s workouts that I posted:

Day 1: 16 Minute Full Body Home Workout: Arms, Legs, Core and Cardio
Day 2: 22-Minute HIIT Sweat Body Weight Workout: Cardio Sculpt
Day 3: Interval Workout to Begin Building Running Speed & Endurance
Day 4: 20 Minute HIIT: Core & Legs and 20 Minute Full Body Sculpt: Boot Camp
Day 5: 10 Minute Booty Sculpting Workout

Day 6: Yoga, Pilates, Bender Fitness Workout Fusion or Full Rest Day

I have a 5K coming up on Thanksgiving so my week was a little bit different.

Day 1: Interval Workout to Begin Building Running Speed & Endurance

Day 2: Rest Day (My mom, sister, niece & nephew visited)
Day 3: Taught Boot Camp-60 Minute Total Workout-40 HIIT + 10 Minute Warm-up & 10-Minute Cool-down

Day4: 10 Minute Booty Sculpting Workout

Day 5: Taught 60-Minute Yoga Class

Day 6: Treadmill Run: 3.1 Miles (23 minutes and 57 seconds) + 1 Mile Cool Down (8 Minutes)- 4.1 Total Miles

Day 7: Treadmill Run: .5 Mile Walking Warm-Up (4.0 Speed) 2 Mile Run (16 Minutes-8 Minute/Mile Pace-7.5 Speed) .5 Mile Walking Cool Down (4.0 Speed)

Day 6 Run Breakdown: I started off at an easier pace, and slightly increased the speed at 1.5 Miles, and 2.5 Miles. 5K Training to prevent starting to fast & prepare to push harder in the later parts of the race.

I hope you all enjoyed last week’s workouts. I am excited to start off another great fitness week with all of you.

Have fun today!
